WAN stuck on 100m/full
I have an RBR850 with exactly the same issue. I've factory reset (per instructions above), upgraded to the latest firmware (V7.2.6.21), used 3 different CAT5E and CAT6 cables and no matter what devi...
Just to close out this thread. I ended up purchasing a used RBR850 to replace the one that one which wouldn't negotiate >100Mbs. That has worked and I can see that I'm getting 2.5Gbs between the modem and my RBR850 and my internet upload/download speeds are back to where they should be. Seem the problem was related to a hardware issue or some type of software/firmware issue that multiple factory resets (following the instructions on this message board) would not take care of.
Had a port not auto sensing between GS305EP to an Orbi 853. Was a cable issue. I had multiple cables with not all wires connected which resulted in 100M connections. As soon as I used a cable with all wires connected end to end the connection came up straight away at 1000M. Advice was spot on, you don't get any errors just 100M connection.
That would certainly be a cause. Why we recommend CAT6A STP for 8 and 9 series Orbi systems.
